Not Welcome To Park

Letter to the editor

Two weeks ago, on a Saturday, I went into Hartford with my wife to enjoy the Caribbean Festival that was taking place in Bushnell Park and on Jewel Street. Unfortunately, the only option for parking was to pay $5 at a nearby lot.

To my amazement, the parking lots next to the state office building on Capitol Avenue were completely empty and chained up with a sign that said "Permit Parking Only." Does this make any sense?
